摘要
AlGaN/GaN高电子迁移率晶体管(HEMT)器件由于高压、大功率等应力条件导致的电学退化过程中往往伴随着结构退化现象产生,结构退化研究对提高器件可靠性起着重要的作用。介绍了近年来国外在高压、大功率、高温、加压时间及辐射等不同因素对GaNHEMT器件结构退化的影响方面的研究进展。发现GaNHEMT器件的栅边缘下方出现的凹点和裂纹等结构缺陷是高压、大功率、高频等许多应力条件下都会出现的普遍现象,且凹点和裂纹的退化程度随电学退化程度的加深而加大,并导致器件的可靠性下降。GaNHEMT器件结构退化现象的本质以及改进措施将是未来研究的重点。
Structural degradation phenomena always occurs with electrical degradation of Al Ga N /Ga N high electron mobility transistors( HEMTs) under high voltage or high power stress conditions,and the study of the structural degradation may play an important role in improving reliability of Ga N HEMTs. The recent research progress of foreign countries in understanding the influence factors for structural degradation of Ga N HEMTs such as high voltage,high power,high temperature,stress time and strong radiation is introduced. The pit and crack damages at gate edges of Ga N HEMTs are universal phenomena under many stress conditions,and the degradation degree of crack and pit damages correlates with electrical degradation degree,which may induce reliability decline of devices. The nature and improvement of structural degradation of Ga N HEMTs will be the research focus in the future.
